To celebrate the Camaro’s 30th Anniversary, Chevrolet offered a special package patterned after the 1996 Brickyard 400 pace car. Painted white with orange stripes, the 1997 30th Anniversary Package was offered on the Z28 and included a white-and-black houndtooth checked interior just like the 1969 Z28 Indy Pace Car. The Camaro SS became more widely available in 1997, pushing 305 horsepower to the massive rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission, the same amount of power that Ford offered in the lighter SVT Cobra.
